Clicker Training Step 1 "Find a clicker!"


I'm talking to you about process of clicker training from this time.The article today is on clicker for training.

You can find a few art of clicker in a large pet shop or a shop,which specializes in goods for dogs.You can take a clicker for dogs for training for cockatiels. Clickers must have difference in the size.I think that you should take a small one for your cockatiel,because a large clicker for dog might make your cockatiels anxious with loud click.Look at the picture above.Yellow one is may clicker.This size is suitable for cockatiels.Cockatiels are smaller and cautiouser as other parrots.But you can take any clicker for cockatiel when you have no other choice.I meen simply that smaller one is better than lager one.

When you find no clicker in shops,you can take a pen with clicker on the head,instead of the clicker for animals.Take a look at the picture above.My hand grips a pen there,which is suitable for clicker training.I think,a click of pen is not so loud that your cockatiel will be not suprised by the click.A shorter pen is confortable for clicker training.

Next time,I will talk about reward-box for clicker training.
